Chaumet Drawing From Nature

One of the most storied high jewellery houses in Paris, Chaumet has been entwined with the history of France since its founding in 1780. Appointed official jeweller to Empress Josephine, the house has passed down its unique savoir-faire for almost 240 years. Each generation of Chaumet jewellers has looked to the natural world as a key source of inspiration, dreaming up ruby orchids, delicate laurel wreath tiaras, striking diamond starbursts, and a beguiling array of animals - from birds and butterflies to snakes and octopuses - on necklaces, brooches, and headpieces.
